Promised training did not occur until after 90 days of trying to learn on the fly. This was exacerbated by constant changes in work location since nobody was invested in my training.

The intense focus on performance numbers bred a lack of truthfulness in reporting. This was true of people in both leasing and maintenance. I made management was aware of the blatant falsification of maintenance results several times but these practices were not changed.

I was told the position required "flexibility." The changes in work schedule and locations I endured was ridiculous, however. I never had a set day off (except usually Sunday when most locations were closed anyway). There were weeks when I was at a different location every single day and days when nobody expected me to be anywhere because the scheduling was so chaotic. Most of the time I literally did not know who my Manager was.

There was one Manager who took a sincere interest in my career. He tried to create a set schedule for me, but it was not followed. Even he would ask me to come in on my day off at the last minute.

The most enjoyable part of my job was dealing with residents. They were often unhappy about the constant changes in office staff. At one location a number of residents requested that I stay through letters to management, verbal requests and an online statement. The company ignored this and transferred me anyway.

I worked for the company for 2 years. The corporate accounting was always a problem. We would not get paid on time or in full at leaset six times in the two years I was there. The sites themselves are run by the on-site manager and therefore the property is only as good as that person. I had a good manager and a pleasant work environment for 1.5 yrs but then the new manager they brought in was not so good. Very unprofessional, brought a dog to work everyday, wouldn't call people back or take meetings with residents. unfortunately with that kind of company structure there are no checks and balances so the people under the manager get scapegoated for bad management by the property leader. I ended up having to defend policies and actions taken by management that I didn't feel where fair to the customer and my manager wouldn't have my back or defend the decisions that she was having us enforce. Also leaving at lunch and not returning is a common practice for all the managers in the company so expect to be on your own a lot. if you do a leasing or assistant's role. It all depends on who is running the property. There are a lot of good managers but a few bad ones that seem to never get let go.

The role required a high level of responsibility and independence, and I was able to perform my duties effectively on my own. However, leadership support, training, and clear guidance were minimal. Expectations were high, but communication and constructive feedback were often lacking.

Interactions with management were frequently negative rather than solution-focused, and concerns raised were not addressed in a productive manner. Meetings were sometimes called without clear purpose or actionable outcomes, which made it difficult to focus on operational priorities.

Workload demands were significant, including on-call responsibilities, and there was little support for professional development or goal setting. I believe the organization would benefit from stronger leadership consistency, more structured training, and a culture that prioritizes respectful communication and support for employees at all levels.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Co-workers were nice and the buildings are beautiful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is toxic. Promotions are based on who the owner likes not on skill or competence.  Which causes leaders to lead based on fear and surround themselves w/ yes-men, which adds to their incompetency.  Many top leaders have been at the company a very long time and have no outside experience or leadership training, and there is no leadership training being provided b/c the head of HR is the worse offender.  When new people come in w/ new ideas, the leaders feel threatened so they  undermine new talent, which then leave or kowtows .  Anyone who gets on the wrong side of the owner or his favorites, will be fired.  Which adds to the yes-men and fear based culture.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, fear-based, favoritism.  Everyone knows who are the favorites who can't be crossed or challenged so people keep their head down or leave.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, navigating grenades, and trying to figure out what the priority of the day is.

Holland is a great company to work for, you receive a lot of support from upper management and get to know your RM, VP and other PM's on a more personal level. I've been promoted 3x during my 6 years at the company as a huge focus from Holland is promoting from within. There are great systems/procedures in place to effectively help you manage the property and your workload, without them going overboard with micromanaging and too much paperwork. They give you a good amount of freedom as a PM to make the best choices for your residents, staff and property. They also treat residents really well and respond to any resident issues in a timely manner. The bonus structure is AMAZING compared to a few of the other companies I've experienced. Leasing bonuses, Renewal bonuses and quarterly bonuses have huge potential and are clearly laid out/defined so there's no uncertainty involving them.

I have worked for a few property management companies, I wont say who. But I got to tell you. none of those companies took care of their employees like this company does. I used to have problems getting up for early shifts before. I hated getting up early. Now its like it never bothered me before. The only thing that would put you out of place with this company, is trying to put yourself and your skills above everyone else. If you did the work fine if you haven't let them know.
  Having a good time, but being responsable and staying professional is the name of the game here. the company is pretty big so if theres a chance you want to relocate from seattle down to tempe Arizona give this place a chance. Maintenance tech II

Company is great. Like all property management companies, the maintenance side is under rated and under paid. But they pay better than most and treat employees well. The CEO is very involved in a positive way. Most company ideas are better in theory than in application.  They also operate with poor technology and programs compared to other companies i have worked for. On the maintenance side there is a large amount of wasted time and inefficiency as a result of poor systems of operation. I have also experienced very poor maintenance facilities and shop space, which makes day to day work very inefficient and much more difficult than necessary.

I do not recommend working here unless you are just looking for a paycheck. IT was mainly outsourced (be wary of companies/owners who don't think IT is a 'real' need). Management had no skills and placed immense self-importance on themselves (you couldn't possibly work on your own when your manager took a day off - they answered e-mail, called in, etc.). Some individuals who were labeled Directors and Vice Presidents would be lucky if they were a manager in another company with any real depth. The whole idea of a 'business' is to change when your customers or the industry demands it - otherwise, there's no growth. Holland had no interest in changing anything and were not open to others' ideas. Sad little place...

Management was almost always helpful as they could be although they do sort of throw ya to the wolves.
Great work place culture, good people, great perks like MLB, NHL games.
Unfortunately after 3 years of 60-90hr weeks I just got burnt out.
I was moved to another property and then only after accepting the new gig at different property did they tell me they would not be giving me the $10K bonus I had been told I was receiving. (This sort of thing seemed to happen a lot to people but they do promote within, just make sure its not your head on the chopping block.  

I have been a full employee of Holland's Marketing Department for the last 7 Months as well as have completed two Sales Management Internships during the summers of 2016 and 2017.  Holland has provided me with the richest skill set of practical, functional, and in depth knowledge of Marketing and Sales that other jobs and a BBA in Marketing could not.  I would highly recommend Holland to anyone who is looking for a "Family Feel" in the workplace, or anyone who wants to be apart of a cutting edge and robust team that gives back to it's employees (quarterly profit sharing, key associate shares, etc.)
